One of the most important functions of a radar antenna is to provide spatial filtering that maximizes the radar's sensitivity in the desired sUIveillance direction while suppressing interference signals that enter the radar from other directions. This article describes a UHF radar antenna systemwith exceptional interference-rejection capabilities that are achieved through a combination of preci...

Beamforming problem is studied in wireless networks where both transmitters and receivers have linear adaptive antenna arrays. Algorithms are proposed that find antenna array weight vectors at both transmitters and receivers as well as the transmitter powers with one of the following two objectives: 1) to maximize the minimum signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) over all receivers and ...

.. We have investigated the use of adaptive array antenna techniques to maximize the applied electric field at a tumor site in a target body while simultaneously minimizing or reducing the field at the locations of undesired high-temperature regions, or hot spots. Computer simulations have shown that adaptive nulling can prevent undesired hot spots from occurring during the heating of a deep-se...

This article presents a phased array antenna employing MEMS phase shifter. The proposed phased array antenna consists of eight square patch antennas operating at 10.4 GHz with a bandwidth of 400 MHz. Feed line for each patch passes through a MEMS phase shifter realized by a series of bridges above the transmission line. The distance between the bridge and the transmission line underneath it is ...

The adaptive antenna array and adaptive modulation aided network performance of a Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) based system is investigated using system parameters similar to those of the Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS). A number of performance metrics, such as the call dropping probability, the average throughput as well as the required ...

This paper proposes a new spatio-temporal equalization method, which simultaneously utilizes an adaptive antenna array and a decision feedback equalizer (DFE). For effective spatio-temporal equalization with less computational cost, how to split equalization functionality into spatial processing and temporal processing is quite important. One of the answers which we have given is ‘incoming sign...

An RF adaptive array antenna (RF-AAA) configured with variable capacitors is proposed. This antenna system can control the power combining ratio and phase value of received signals. In this paper, we focus on the diversity effects of RF-AAA. First, we show the design methodology of the combiner circuit to realize the effective combining. Second, the perturbation method and the steepest gradient...

This paper describes a nonblind digital beamformer for SDMA (space division multiple access) systems used when channels are power-limited. An array antenna with many elements is usually required to obtain high antenna gain for the reception of a low-level desired signal and the degree of freedom for the spatial discrimination of many users using the same frequency. The proposed beamformer is de...
